The 'test' for psychopaths

[nikomas1]

The man told the woman to kill her sister if she wanted to see him again?
Did I fail?

 

[monkie648]

This is like the other test:
You have a bathtub full of water and you have a spoon, a cup, and a ladle.
Which would you use to get the water out?

The drain?

also, is it her sister's husband?

I would unplug the drain.

Or throw a dead hobo in to soak up the water.

 

[plastic_window]

Because she hopes to meet up with the man at her sister's funeral.

Heard it before, took me a 10 or so minutes to figure it out ^^ I doubt they solely rely on a simple riddle to "test" psychopathic killers though.

lol no, I don't think so either. It's just one of a lot of different personnality test questions that they'll give you to test your mental state.

Pull the plug?

Unless this test ends with "And the woman was YOU! HAHA!" this seems more like one of those 'lateral thinking' tests. That said i think i just passed XD

 

[plastic_window]

She hopes to meet the man again at her sister's funeral; if he attended the mother's funeral, it seems plausible that he would attend the funeral of the daughter of her. She has deemed time spent with this man to be more valuable than the life of her own sister. Is that correct?

If by 'right' you mean 'psycopathic answer' then yes.

Then I guess I win. Awesome, megapenguinx, you, and I should celebrate our psychotic frames of mind and... erm, yeah, cool.

 

[roboosh]

Is the sister an identical twin?
Oh too late there's an answer

 

[pffh]

Not enough info given. How is her relationship with her sister? Does she have any mental illnesses? and finally how is her life in general, is she poor, what is her job status, if she has no job was she fired recently, if she has a job will she lose it soon for some reason?

etc That's the info we need.

 

[ElephantGuts]

Because her sister don't and if they don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine.

S-s A-a F-f E-e...

This, definetly.

But how is this supposed to work? If you think of a particular answer, then you're a psychopathic murderer?

And this is that answer? Well, I didn't think of it so atleast I'm not a psychopath.

Allegedly, this is a test for psycopathic murderers. Yeah, you heard me. More importantly, you saw the word 'allegedly' which means that I don't know if it's true or not.

Besides, this has probably been done before. It's not a very original concept. Anyhoo, here's the question:

A woman goes to her mother's funeral and meets a man there. She dances and romances with him all night, but fails to get his name or number. The next week she kills her sister. Why?

Because...within the week, he did the same thing with her hotter sister....this enraged the woman/murderer to such a degree that she felt compelled to murder her hotter sister! Like they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! LMAO
Weird thread but amusing nontheless! ;P

 

[Duh]

because her sister ate her baby and used the blood to sumon satan into the ream of chocolate rainbow bunnies

There are four people here, including myself who worked it out without the information you're asking for. But it isn't a straight-forward question anyway - it's one of those ones that psychiatrists (or psychologists, I forget why they're different) use on patients to see what they think beneath the surface. I think the reason why they use it is because it has very little detail. Remember the hospital scene in A Clockwork Orange? Like those speech things that she gives him.

In short, you failed. Try again

TELL ME D: I've been sat here for ages but I can't THINK.

Excellent. We can use my house. It's an abandoned abatoir on the lower-east side.

Don't worry about the gangs and whatnot, they know to stay away.

Y'know, even though we know the 'right' answer, it doesn't make me question my mental state. I'm pretty sure that if I was the woman I wouldn't murder my sister. Probably go for the father instead. Hell, he'll probably die in like the next 10 years anyway. Might as well die knowing he gave his daughter a chance to score.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

There's an obvious problem with this. Psychopaths medically lose the ability to project emotions onto others, which is why they see Jesus instead of Jesus's ghost. (And can't dream) So the psychopath's answer would probably be "Why not?"

(In addition to which. Psychopath is an outdated term, sociopath is preferred.)

/psychology mode off

Its not true. Its much harder to find real psychopathy than this. Its more of a lateral thinking exersice.

There is alot of mistaken knoledge about psychopaths. They are not the same thing as a Serial Killer. Nor are they the cool villains Bond always fights. Real paychopaths are impulisve with poor planning skills, like Joe Pesci's character from Goodfellas.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

A better question would be "why the hell not".

 

[hailene]

Here's what I got.

The woman was adapted. She met up with her biological father unknowingly. They had sex.

She got pregnant and had an abortion.

Does this make me a murderer or just someone who has read too many incest stories <_<?
